Patient's question:

After seven days of treatment at the First People's Hospital, the condition did not improve, so we were transferred to the Provincial Maternal and Child Hospital. The examination there indicated that the baby had purulent meningitis. I would like to ask how to treat purulent meningitis in babies?Doctor's answer:
For babies with purulent meningitis. If given the correct treatment. The course of antibiotic use is sufficient. The possibility of leaving behind sequelae is very small. A cerebrospinal fluid test needs to be performed before discharge. The cell count. Sugar content. Protein content in the cerebrospinal fluid are all within the normal range. Then you can be discharged. After discharge. It is best to avoid getting cold. And avoid respiratory infections.
